The night before last, Alex developed a fever. I only know this because he happened to wake up and started talking to himself, while either climbing on me or Aaron. I think the fever may be due to his MMR vaccine, because I’ve read fever and rash can show up 7-12 days after [...]

Aaaahhhggg! What are you doing?!?

Alex decided to grab himself while I was changing his poopy diaper.
I was all like…NO BALL CHECKS PLEASE.
So, I had to wash his hands and change his clothes.
Problem Solving

Aaron and I are watching Alex play with his Stack & Roll Cups he got for Christmas, and we are totally mesmerized by him attempting to figure out how they go together. He has three of cups, and just isn’t sure how to make them fit. He knows that the sizes and colors matter. He [...]
7 Random Things

Alex held a phone cord to his ear today and clearly said, “Hi.” In fact it was the clearest I’ve heard him say it yet.
On the way to Aaron’s work there is a handwritten sign attached to an exit sign post that says, “Walmart Now Open.” It’s written in black marker and gives [...]
Extended Breastfeeding
Posted in Observations on June 26, 2009 | 5 Comments »
I’ve come to the realization that I’m entering into the realm of extended breastfeeding. I’m mostly surrounded by people who either have breastfed past a year or at least support it, so it’s not something that is out of the norm to me. However, I’m starting to come across people who may not [...]
Today Alex Did…Uh…

I think Alex has recently worked through some mental milestone. There’s nothing really specific I can point to that tells me what it is, as it is just a small change in the way he reacts to the world. It’s almost as if he’s more aware of things around him. I’ve seen [...]
His First (Typed) Word
Posted in Milestones, Observations on January 26, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
We were visiting with our friends Karl and Susan this evening, and while Alex was sitting on Karl’s lap, he was playing with the wireless keyboard. Karl opened a text program to see what sort of randomness Alex would bang out on the keys. By some fluke (or perhaps he’s just that advanced), [...]
New Sounds and New Foods
Posted in Milestones, Observations, Updates on December 15, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Alex has been exercising his voice quite a bit lately. Not in volume (thank goodness) but in sounds. A couple of days ago he said “da,” and the following day he said “ba” and “ga.” Since then he has been experimenting with consonants and vowels to the great delight of all those [...]
I love my little man.
Posted in Observations, Random on December 6, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I don’t have much to say right now, except I’m happy. I really love this little guy who is sleeping on my shoulder and snoring lightly. Some days are tiring and difficult, but overall I’m blessed. Sometimes nothing makes me happier than simply watching him, and nothing lights up my day more [...]
Creativity and Parenting
Posted in Observations on December 2, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
When I got a creative itch before I became a parent, it was very easy to give into that urge and lose myself in whatever I was creating. I could begin a project, and see it through to its end with relatively little interruption. Now, obviously, as a parent, I no long have [...]
